We're not allowed congregations of more then 250 people now. How could we know to have enough test kits, it's not like this has been simmering for four months beforehand...

Luckily, Jim Bakker has some Miracle Prayer Juice he's willing to sell you for the low, low price of $150/33ml bottle. Tubs of freeze-dried Apocalypse Cauliflower Cheese are also available.

Yelp hours are getting cut back. Just to save the company money of course..
I really thought that I would see less grey hairs but that's practically all I've seen in the last few days. Surely a hotel has to be one of the worst places to stay if your trying not to catch a virus.
So now seems like the correct time to cosplay post apocalyptic characters when I go out to get groceries. I'm thinking mad max thunderdome.

You gonna get a small guy to ride on your back, or find a really big guy and ride on his? Or are you thinking of going with a Tina Turner look?
Okay, so you'll be needing chainmail and giant shoulder pads. Just be careful out there. Remember, we don't need another hero.

So hotel is no longer serving breakfast I made a ton of little to go bags for people. They layed off our breakfast girl. Strange times.
We're still doing breakfast, just took a few things off and reduced the hours. Housekeeping is losing a lot of hours. Basically they're all on call for the next few weeks. Desk staff still have full hours.

When Aiymi was still debating on whether she was going to keep her client meeting in Chattanooga (getting rescheduled), she was looking at hotel prices and was ecstatic. Places normally running 150/night were advertising 65-80/night.

My book is is now live for paperback orders! (Kindle will drop on Friday). The publisher and I are donating 100% of the proceeds through April 30 to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern NC, who are helping cover school lunches for kids who need them during this shut-down.
The book and the press release about it.
I may pick that up in the next few days quibble.

And today they closed the pool and exercise room. Also, our breakfast has been severely curtailed. We are providing a bag with a 4oz cup of mixed fruit, a 12(?)oz bottle of orange juice, and either a belvita bar or a Nutrigrain bar (luck of the draw). Also, yogurt and cartons of milk are available. But all of it is on request only. The bags are behind the desk, and the yogurts and milk are in a locked minifridge. Oh, we have packets of instant oatmeal, oranges, and bananas as well.
Last night they had the schedules for the next couple of weeks posted, but tonight they are gone. I don't know what that portends, but hopefully it won't affect me any.
Yeah I'm getting a day less. not a huge deal they can't really cut me back much more the that. as long as the place is open anyways. Business is sparse but not too sparse we may stay in business.
As I said previously, I'm not too worried since cutting my hours would likely mean that one of the managers would have to cover my shift, and that's not gonna happen. I suppose they could give one or two of my shifts to the other auditor and they would cover when he normally works 1st or 2nd shift, but I don't know. I have enough in savings to last a while if necessary, but hopefully it won't be needed.
Yeah they gave one of my days to the guy who covers my off days. but it won't be more then that.

Old person with the sniffles may have weirded me out a bit. I may be standing real far back and reaching to the maximum length of my arm to accept your keys yes. Ignore that.
we may need more hand sanitizer now. I also smell like alcohol.
Well My fiance was layed off so now i'm the sole source of money. Hotel is keeping some what busy tho. so that's good I guess.
STS: Oh apparently The watcher comes out for console on Monday.
Had what might be our last face to face PF game for awhile.
So has anyone had any experience with the gunslinger the main worry is regular fire arms vrs advanced. I could of swore I read somewhere on the forums to watch out for advanced that it makes the gunslinger a bit op or maybe that was modern?
Freehold is against new classes.
What do you define as new classes freehold? anything not core? or anything that wasn't in a previous version?

It wasn't too overpowered, but I wasn't trying to power game. I have heard of people doing ridiculous stuff with them.
Well my players first idea was a thrikreen from a third party and I was like uuuhh noooooo. I've had thri kreen in my games before and they are cheese. a thri kreen gunslinger sounded like a incredibly powerful build.
Freehold DM wrote: Freehold is against new classes. Yer damn right! Back in my day, we had ONE class. And it was “Player”. And the only class ability was “roll dice”. Dragons et the lot of us every session and that were fine by us. Not like these kids with their “dwarves” and their “fighters”. Pshaw!

They get more overpowered the higher in level they go, touch AC is weird.

New classes should be archetypes, something paizo made absolutely amazing.

Personally, I think the Core classes suffer from 3.5-ism. They got ported over from the old system without really innovating them. Yeah, Clerics can now Channel, but I think a lot of classes post-Core are cool because they iterate and innovate upon what's already there. There's a reason most classes get an X amount of points to use on their abilities. A Swashbuckler gets Panache, Monks get Ki points, and so on. A lot of newer classes seem to overshadow the Core classes, but that's because the Core classes are... bland. Rangers still get Endurance for no particular reason. Fighters only get bonus feats. There's nothing that really makes them exciting.
Now, yes, there are classes that are badly designed. The Alchemist and Gunslinger hit on Touch AC, which is almost always lower than regular AC, and in the lategame they'll never miss anymore. That's, I think, because the system wasn't designed with those classes in mind. Witches and Shamans get Hexes, effectively granting them infinite spells per day. Granted, most of those are once per target only, but it means that every encounter they're completely topped off on resources. A Magus basically breaks the action economy of the game. But there are certainly classes that are more balanced. A Cavalier is a fun take on the martial, even though the mount can be problematic. A Slayer is beautifully efficient, and the Oracle is a fun take on the spontaneous Cleric.
But yeah, I can see your argument for making them all archetypes. Don't necessarily agree with it, but I can see the reasoning for it.

Sorry to hear your fiance has been laid off =(
And no I don't like guns nor gunslingers since it makes ac(defences of high level mobs) pretty much pointless.
This is an area where Freehold and I disagree, but not impassibly so.

I kind of like having a dozen different ways of doing things. Like say I want to play a figther mage. I can multiclass I can go into that one prestige class I can take the archtype for figther that makes them slightly more magey or vice versa or I can play a magus with half a dozen archtypes as well. I think It really helps one to get the specific nich they have in mind for their character.

I do agree tho that what they have done with archetypes is amazing. Probably my favorite part of PF1.
